About us
From humble roots Down Under to a global presence, Balance Music proudly celebrates 25 years at the forefront of independent electronic music with the inaugural Balance Croatia Festival at The Garden Resort in Tisno, Croatia from August 6th-10th 2026.
The Australian record label has played its part in shaping, and documenting 25 years of progressive dance music evolution, solidifying its status as a cornerstone in the scene.
Most remarkably, in an industry defined by fleeting trends, Balance Music hasn’t just endured—it’s thrived, remaining relevant while staying true to its ethos. It's time to celebrate that commitment, and we’re doing it big - 4 days, 4 nights, 3 stages, 50+ artists, and 4,999 revellers, plus you.
O glorious days and nights in August 2026 we’ll host the biggest line-up of progressive and melodic artists to ever grace Croatia’s most divine festival location.
The picturesque Garden Resort is renowned for its stunning Adriatic Coast beaches that’s glazed with crystal-clear waters nestled amongst nature. Flanked by the charming and historical local architecture of Tisno, this holiday setting feels straight out of a movie, an idyllic backdrop for an electronic music event that is nothing short of a fantasy.
Balance joins other quality brands like Defected, Love International, Dekmantel, Terminal V, Hospitality on the Beach, and Dimensions during the Croatian summer at The Garden Resort. With On-Site and Off-Site Accommodation options ranging from camping and glamping, to cozy apartments, hotels, and beachside cabins, the location invites you to tailor your perfect Adriatic getaway. Ample space sets the scene for open-air parties featuring our world-class artists on incredible stages.
So that’s the story. It’s not just a celebration of staying true to oneself; it's moments shared between us. We honour 25 years of memories, and the times when music meant more. We’ve invited 50+ world-class artists to soundtrack the weekend—on the Adriatic Coast, in Croatia, under the sun, on the beach, with you.
Balance Croatia awaits.
